Workers were putting the finishing touches on a brightly-lit Pier 2 in Brooklyn Bridge Park last night.

The pier's activities will include basketball, handball and bocce courts along with swings and a full-size skating rink.

The schedule is not posted yet, but we hear there will be free skating sessions at the Pier 2 roller rink. The park will be hosting regular family field days to welcome families to all recreational piers.

Officials said the park will open very soon, but have not yet announced the grand opening date.

Update: The pier will open Thursday, May 22, as will Pier 4, which features a beach, boat launch and bird island.
